Re: Single panniers, pedal bearings, saddles and leg pain
To clarify for my tired old brain........ Leg pain doesn't manifest when cycling Cycling problems are........ destroying left pedals left bum bone dent bigger than right Precisely! I suspect they could be linked in the sense that they may both be caused by e.g. me putting more weight on my left sid...

Re: Single panniers, pedal bearings, saddles and leg pain
Cheers. I wouldn't mind having a pound for every time I have heard "there is nothing wrong with my bike fit, but I get this pain" :wink: Seriously though, if you have persistent pain that sounds like good evidence that something is wrong..... Just to clarify, I have no pain on the bike, li...

Re: Single panniers, pedal bearings, saddles and leg pain
but more importantly so when I park I lean the bike on the pannier rather than scratch the paintwork. I'm confused by this one though! having the pannier on the left would surely be more useful for this?! Because a post, tree etc will scratch the right hand side of the bike when leant against it, s...

Re: Single panniers, pedal bearings, saddles and leg pain
Fascinating. When I am riding with 1 pannier I put it on the right so I am creating a larger obstacle for cars to drive round That being the same reason I put it on the right - I do find I get a lot more space due to the perceived extra width but more importantly so when I park I lean the bike on t...

Single panniers, pedal bearings, saddles and leg pain
Hi, When riding to work etc I usually have one pannier on the right hand side. Is this liable to do any damage? I have noticed that I seem to always destroy the bearings on my left hand pedal at a rather rapid rate. I replaced my M520s back at the end of March, and within four months or so/1500 mile...

Re: a bit of good news: bit of a smoking ban ..
The people who smoke while their kids are in the car are likely to smoke watching TV anyway. So I'm not sure how much harm will be prevented. It's a bit nanny state for minimal public health gain. And it won't be enforced. Even taken with a pinch of salt the following is quite alarming "Resear...

Stolen: old Scott 'mountain' bike
My Scott Vail Mountain bike, which I have owned since 3rd March 2000, and ridden many fantastic miles on, was this weekend stolen from our garden shed :cry: It had far more sentimental value than monetary. I've had it nearly half my life! Rigid carbon fork. Dynamo wheel and lights. Black Topeak rear...

Re: Why are many anti TDF on here?
I'm not on here regular enough to have posted any tour hating posts, but I'm sure if I was I would have done ;) (only between the lines mind) I enjoy getting out on my racer in lycra occasionally, though first and foremost I'm a commuting/shopping/getting about/touring cyclist. Oh I do a bit of moun...

Re: So it's the road that's dangerous, not the users ?!!
If roads cannot be dangerous why is it that there are often complaints on the forums of potholes causing accidents? I do agree by the way, and was quite amused during my tour of Ireland of the number of signs warning me of 'dangerous bends'. Ride or drive for the condition of the roads, they are not...

Re: The 2x2 Test
this is I'm sure a really stupid question... but what's a "length of 2 x 2"?! As far as I can see it's simple: I wear a helmet for motor racing I don't wear a helmet for driving to work I wear a helmet for mountain biking I don't wear a helmet for riding to work I wear a helmet for walking...

So they're not trying to suggest that the latest sporting craze is combat between motorists and cyclists then?

In the Library...
Went down to the library today, and had a look around.
Was quite worried to see these three subjects all put together:
